Julia Restoin-Roitfeld's Summer Mix Tape

Hooray! It is a magical day! Julia Restoin-Roitfeld compiled her "Summer Mix Tape" for all of us, perhaps this will help to soothe those end of summer blues we are about to experience. And... well... finally it is confirmed that Julia and I share similar taste! I know, I know, I try not to involve myself but it's music.... Specifically, just three days ago I mentioned that Serge Gainsbourg's "Sea, Sex, and Sun" was one of my favorites, too cool.

Julia photographed Robert Konjic (her beau, also a model) for the latest issue of VMAN and while hanging out at the studio she put together a playlist of her favorite summer songs for a brief article titled "The Sounds of Summer":

Vanessa Paradis “Joe Le Taxi”

Fleetwood Mac “Everywhere”

Serge Gainsbourg “Sea, Sex, And Sun”

The Source “You’ve Got The Love”
Roxette “It Must Have Been Love”

Cut Copy “Hearts on Fire”

Hot Chip “Transmission”

Music Go Music “Warm in the Shadows”

Guns ’n’ Roses “Sweet Child of Mine”

Blur “Boys and Girls”

Iggy Pop “The Passenger”
Talk Talk “It’s My Life (extended version)”
The Verve “Bitter Sweet Symphony”

Toto Coelo “Milk From Coconut”

Kate Bush “Running Up That Hill”

Jimmy Somerville “Smalltown Boy"

La Roux “In For the Kill”

I created a Grooveshark playlist titled "Julia Restoin-Roitfeld Summer Mix Tape" so you can relax and enjoy as DJ Jewels spins her summer picks with the help of MC Konjic... and let us know your favorite summer songs in the comments.

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld: It Girl

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld appears in an article titled "Fashion's New It Girls" by Derek Blasberg for the September issue of Harper's Bazaar. Though I do not think any of these girls are actually "new" to the scene, it is an interesting read nonetheless. Also on the list of "young, single, excitable, sexually liberated women" (to paraphrase Blasberg) filling the front row at fashion shows: Giovanna Battaglia, Lou Doillon, Bianca and Coco Brandolini d'Adda, Gaia Repossi, Margherita Missoni, Eugénie Niarchos, Charlotte Dellal, Delfina Delettrez Fendi, Shala Monroque, Caroline Sieber, Sophia Hesketh, Joséphine de La Baume, Natalia Vodianova, Dasha Zhukova, Lauren and Tatiana Santo Domingo, Alexia Niedzielski, Clémence Poésy, and Joana Preiss.

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld Fronts Lancome

Who is the hotty on the left hiding behind those Ray Bans? Yes, it is none other than Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, the new face of Lancôme along with her beau, Robert Konjic. Julia has been chosen to front the latest makeup collection for Lancôme by L'Wren Scott titled Ultra Lavande. Mario Testino (also Julia's godfather) will shoot the campaign for the collection. Julia's fresh beauty makes her a perfect brand ambassador for the Lancôme line of products and I look forward to the first images from the campaign. In the meantime, it is nice to see Julia heeding her mother's words of wisdom and enjoying the summer.

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld On Mark Fast

The lucky journalists at Grazia are spending the day with Julia Restoin-Roitfeld as she works to prepare the lookbook for Mark Fast's latest collection which he has named his Faster line. In the interview with Grazia, Julia discusses her thoughts on first discovering the sexy dresses by Fast and her gig as his creative consultant among other fascinating topics. Love the Chloé boots that she is wearing (though they are cut off in this photo). Tomorrow Grazia will feature an interview with Mark Fast as well so be sure to check back then.

Like Mother, Like Daughter: Take 2

It is hard to believe that I have drawn a parallel between the outfits of mother and daughter duo Carine Roitfeld and Julia Restoin-Roitfeld only once before on the site but so it is. In the post Like Mother, Like Daughter, Carine and Julia were both photographed wearing a gorgeous top designed by Christopher Kane and each has styled the garment in her own likeness.

This reference is a bit different in that the two women are not wearing the exact same piece here, they just strongly resemble one another — legs encased in black leather, top reminiscent of a wild animal, hair tousled seductively. Carine is wearing boots, dress, and jacket by Martin Margiela; I can only identify Julia's Miu Miu bag. Let me know if you know who she is wearing... What do you think, can you see a family resemblance here?
